A group affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan wants to "adopt" a mile-long stretch of highway in Georgia.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Georgia Dept. of Transportation is currently reviewing the May 21 request--filed by International Keystone Knights of the KKK in Union County--to clean up part of Route 515 in the Appalachian Mountains in Blairsville.
"Any civic-minded organization, business, individual, family, city, county, state, or federal agency is welcome to volunteer in the Georgia Adopt-A-Highway program," according to the department's website.
The state attorney general's office is expected to decide Monday.

"We just want to clean up the doggone road," Harley Hanson, who filed the application, told the paper. "We're not going to be out there in robes."
But Rep. Tyrone Brooks, head of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, called on state officials to reject the application.
"This is about membership building and rebranding their name in a public way," Brooks said. "What's next, are we going to let Neo-Nazis or the Taliban or al-Qaida adopt highways?"

"We are good, decent Christian Americans," Hanson, the group's "Exalted Cyclops," added. "What we're trying to do is to work with the local community."
It's not the first time the KKK has participated in an "Adopt-A-Highway" program.
In 2000, the KKK successfully "adopted" part of Interstate 55 south of St. Louis, after a federal judge ruled that the Missouri Dept. of Transportation could not keep the group out of the cleanup program.
The Georgia KKK group said they would file a lawsuit if the state rejects their application.

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
Seems like every few years they try this.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

It's the same story............is there something in the first post that is discredited by the link?

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
I don't see what all the fuss is all about.
Some people want to clean the highway. Just because they are part of a group that some may not favor because of their beliefs?
That's like saying the Democratic party wants to adopt a highway.

Im sure that many here recall that one of the very founding fathers on this website banned a member at another Kentucky firearms message board for similarly posting articles without proper links.

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
My point was he posted a link from a reputable source that covers the story..........he isn't trolling and making false statements backed up with BS links etc.........
Maybe I feel as if you spend more time lately trying to spin and create problems rather than contribute to the threads......just the way I see things as of late.......
Carry on.........

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
seriously--what is the deal--one story from Fox and one from Yahoo--same news--why would anyone not just read the story and go on--believe it or don't believe it, agree or disagree, unreal

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
If you really see no difference between various media outlets, then perhaps you should start using msnbc, or even better, how about AlJazeera for all your daily news?Nolan wrote:seriously--what is the deal--one story from Fox and one from Yahoo--same news--why would anyone not just read the story and go on--believe it or don't believe it, agree or disagree, unreal
I think some of you are misreading my intentions though. The reason I asked for a link was because your original posted article had two related articles in it :"[Related: Minority babies now a majority]" and "[Related: Ex-skinhead wins GOP post]"
I was simply wanting to see those articles and see which news outlet had those stories as related news. I wasn't trying to make any statement against you in any way.

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
I think you all are misunderstanding my intent, I don't care about the article at all. I am here because I enjoy the idea of seeing a" this mile of road adopted " sign and yelling racist slurs against the white man, at the pure breed white trash picking up trash. Or tilting my hat to the side with my bling , bumping hard core gangster rap and calling all my white trash buddies, my Niggaz while making cracker comments to the KKK guys picking up trash.

Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
We can name highways Martin Luther King but KKK can't adopt a highway? I don't care if it is the Black Panthers etc if they actually are donating money and or cleaning up the highway. To add, I believe there should be no huge sign or advertising material posted more than the small sign showing who adopted like always (which nobody notices anyway).
Re: WTF?? KKK WANTS TO ADOPT A HIGWAY
Scorpianmains post obviously hits the nail on the head. Too many o you guys have sandy vag syndrome over me asking for a link to the source of an article. It's ok though, cause scorp must be an expert at retrieving the said sand out for you all.scorpionmain wrote:
